Some of the House of Dusk's leadership is meeting here in the Cosmodrome to discuss whatever plan they're enacting here, in the heart of their lair! They've got that place well defended, though. But we can improvise! One of their Barons are arriving shortly. Let's talk to Shaw about this revelation."''-Ghost

 *'''Shaw Han''' - I hate to admit it, Guardian, but Zavala is right. Taking out an Archon is one thing, but raiding a Ketch and taking out a Baron and their lackeys is a whole other ordeal.

+''"We won't get another shot at something like this. The Fallen don't meet up like this often, and I bet they won't stick around long once they hear that one of their Barons bit a bullet. Get in there and take them down before they even get a chance to run. We're counting on you."''-Shaw Han
+====Transcript====
+''The quest appears at [[The Grottos]]. Upon interaction, the Guardian is thrown into the Butcher's Bill mission, facing a battle between the Hive and Dusk Fallen''
+*'''Shaw Han''' - This is it Guardian. Infiltrate the Fallen's command center and break their grip on the Cosmodrome. Remember, you're in there deep, we can't exfiltrate you until the Fallen are all but neutralized.
+''Suddenly, a Fallen jamming signal is released and Shaw's comms begin to garble''
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Damn! The Fall- ... -nd have deployed a j--ming signal. Search for anyth- -ght be emitting i-----.
+*'''Ghost''' - Shaw? I can't reach him. Seems like the Fallen have now started to get wise to our actions. Let's look for anything that might be emitting a jamming signal. I think I'm picking it up deeper inside.
+''After getting past the battling Hive and Fallen, the Guardian enters the Grotto arena and sees more of the two groups engaging, the Hive trying to drive out the invaders and the Fallen trying to expand their territory into the Hive nest. Guarding the Glimmer Drill and an energy barrier posted at the end of the cave is a band of Fallen and a Major Servitor variant called a Jamming Servitor.''
+*'''Ghost''' - There! The Servitor up there is the one emitting the jamming signal! Take it out and the comms interference should clear.
+''The Guardian engages both parties of assailants. Once the Jamming Servitor is destroyed, the Ghost will remark''
+*'''Ghost''' - Servitor down! ... but, there is still some interference coming from nearby. Darn. Whelp, let's get back to hunting then.
+''After taking out all enemies within the arena, the barrier will fall, allowing the Guardian to progress into the [[Refinery]], where they will see more Fallen and Hive engaged in combat.''
+*'''Ghost''' - The Hive here are aggressive! Granted, they are death-worshipping, murderous alien monsters, of course, but I've never seen them this... malicious. I guess taking out [[Navôta, Eir Spawn|Navôta]] made them desperate. Well, at least they're softening the Fallen for us. Let's continue towards the command center.
+''After taking out the assailing enemies around the [[Seeder Ship]], another barrier falls. The Guardian finally comes across the Hive battling the Fallen, backed by a supporting Jamming Servitor, in the exiting hallway of the Refinery.''
+*'''Ghost''' - There's the other Servitor. Take it down.
+''The Guardian finally slays the last Jamming Servitor''
+*'''Shaw Han''' - ---dian? Guardian come in. Pleas respond.
+*'''Ghost''' - We're here, Shaw. The Fallen must have known we were coming and tried to sever comms. We're approaching the old King's Watch as we speak.
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Good. Because I wanted to warn you that we've picked up some more of the Dusk's forces mobilizing towards the command center now. Looks like they're trying to seal the entrance with barrier projectors. You're going to have to destroy them if you hope to enter the complex.
+''The Guardian enters the [[Rocketyard]] and head towards the entrance to the King's Watch, but are blocked off by another energy barrier. Upon patrolling the Rocketyard, the Guardian comes across 1 out of 3 active shield pylons. After taking out their protectors, a barrier surrounding it's volatile power source falls.''
+*'''Ghost''' - Look! The power source is exposed! We could disconnect it from the device and power it down.
+''The Guardian destroys the fuel canister.''
+*'''Ghost''' - Or, we could just destroy it and risk blowing up half the Rocketyard.
+''If the Guardian is a Titan''
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Well, what would you expect from a Titan as bold as yours?
+''If the Guardian is a Hunter''
+*'''Shaw Han''' - You forget, Ghost, Hunters are made for solving things outside the box.
+''If the Guardian is a Warlock''
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Perhaps our Warlock knew how to make the best of this situation.
+*'''Ghost''' - Fair point.
+''The Guardian destroys the remaining two shield projectors, thus bringing down the shield protecting the entrance to King's Watch. A large contingent of Vandals backed by an Elite Captain flood out from it in the hopes of keeping the Guardian out. A secondary laser grid activates behind them.''
+*'''Ghost''' - That's it! Barrier should be down! Let's get moving, before the Fallen try to escape.
+''The Guardian takes out the defenders and plugs in their key codes into the terminal, bringing down the laser grid. They finally enter the complex.''
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Guardian. I wish I could say that the City has your back in there, but I would be lying. You are on your own in there. Good luck.
+''The Guardian finally loads into the King's Watch, coming across a Darkness Zone and a bunch of powerful Fallen guards. The Guardian navigates through the complex, contending with Tracer and Exploder Shanks, Dusk Guards and Security Turrets. Finally, the Guardian enters the command room, coming across four named Captains, [[Forum:Gethris, Machinist Captain|Gethris, Machinist Captain]], [[Forum:Phyriks, Excavation Captain|Phyriks, Excavation Captain]], [[Forum:Nathrax, Assault Captain|Nathrax, Assault Captain]] and [[Forum:Drelsiss, Dusk Baroness|Drelsiss, Dusk Baroness]], conversing around and interacting with a holographic display of the [[Traveler]].''
+*'''Ghost''' - Let's end this.
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Give them their eviction notice!
+''Upon engagement, Drelsiss will temporarily retreat while the subordinate Captains will teleport to opposite sides of the room. Once all Captains have been dealt with, Drelsiss will reappear to attack her assailants. Despite Drelsiss's arsenal, drone shielding, mechanical support and Fallen guards, she finally falls at the hands of the Guardian. The Darkness Zone lifts and the Fallen retreat.''
+*'''Ghost''' - *Whoof* That's all of them. Shaw, it's done. The Fallen here are all but crippled.
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Maybe. Let's check what intel they have on that terminal there and get a good look at the size of their operations.
+''The Guardian is directed to the Traveler display and is prompted to interact with it. They deploy the Ghost to investigate it.''
+*'''Ghost''' - Hmm... I'm getting headers about weapons stockpiles, resource logistics, refueling depots... some heavily encrypted file about a project... Godshackle? Wait. The location of their Prime Servitor!
+*'''Shaw Han''' - What?! Where?!
+*'''Ghost''' - Somewhere nearby. Right under the colony ship!
+*'''Shaw Han''' - I'll contact Zavala immediately. This is an opportunity we cannot pass up on. Meet with me as soon as possible.
+===Golden Opportunity===
+*''Return to Shaw Han to discuss a plan to take down the House of Dusk's Prime Servitor.''
+''"Prime Servitors are basically the heart of a Fallen House. They serve as the source of their sustenance, their religion, and their fanaticism. Without them, the results for the House can be devastating to the point of their extinction. May this be reason enough to get this done. Meet with me to discuss a plan of attack."''-Shaw Han
+{Vendor Cutscene}
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Guardian, I understand you had one hell of a day today, but I need to ask you for one more thing. The House of Dusk's Prime Servitor, Deksis Prime is now more exposed than ever thanks to you and the House's Fallen know that. As we speak, they are actively trying to bolster their defenses around the lair. We let it go, the Fallen will undo everything we did here as if it were all for nothing. We cannot pass this opportunity. Zavala has greenlit a strike against them and has already dispatched a pair of Guardians to assist in the attack. Link up with them, punch through their defenses and bring down Deksis. Best of luck, Guardian.
 ===Takedown===
 TBC
+===Ebbing of the Tide===
+*''Deksis has been destroyed! Meet with Shaw Han to bring the good news.''
+''"We did it! Against all odds, we brought down the House of Dusk's kitbashed machine god and broke their grip on the Cosmodrome! Guardian, what you did here is monumental! Let's get back with Shaw and see what he has to say. ...but, I'm superstitious though. What is this 'Project Godshackle', and why do the Fallen not want even their own to know?"''-Ghost
+{Vendor Cutscene}
+*'''Shaw Han''' - Unbelievable, Guardian. A machine god falls, the Fallen scatter to the wind and the Cosmodrome becomes... well, a little bit more quiet than it was before. After Navôta, I thought there was nothing that could supersede that victory, but this? The Fallen are crafty, devious devils whose ambitions knows no bounds. If we let them go for long, they could have become a greater threat than we ever anticipated. Even just then, we had some nasty monsters within their ranks. Skaviks, Viliks, Drelsiss, Deksis. You may not know it yet, but a lot of Guardians would thank you for what you have done here. But, of course, we know this isn't the last we'll see of them. This "Project Godshackle" sounds nothing good. This... will take some time to decrypt. And who knows what the House of Dusk might do by the time the decryption is complete. But for now, thanks Guardian. And until next time.
